Salford in the Age of Steam

The city of Manchester had a rich variety of railways and this further volume in an expanding series is a superb reminder of the steam age ending in the 1960s. With a substantial collection of photographs from a variety of sources, many not published before, the author presents an absorbing portrait of the railways, plus a look at classic buses and trams that once graced the streets of Salford. Manchester Exchange station, Agecroft and Patricroft engine sheds are also featured. Every caption is highly detailed, the author unearthing much previously unpublished and fascinating information.
